The Three Techniques To Fight Cancer

Cancer is one of the saddest realities of our times. A lot of people are stricken with it and many, if not most, of them pass away because of this dreaded disease. There is no known cure and those who are diagnosed with it somehow feel that they have just had a life sentence even until now. As always, good things come out of what may seem to be bad experiences, and this has led us to studies proving that while the disease may not be completely cured once it sets in, it can be prevented simply by practicing good habits throughout one's life.

One of the saddest realities of our times is cancer. Many people are stricken with it and many, if not most, of them pass away because of this dreaded disease. Until now, there is no known cure and those who are diagnosed with it somehow feel that they have just had a life sentence. Good things come out of what may seem to be bad experiences, and this has led us to studies proving that while the disease may not be completely cured once it sets in, it can be prevented simply by practicing good habits throughout one's life. In particular, there are three areas or aspects we must look into - diet, lifestyle and knowledge.


Majority of the diseases that we will contract in our lifetimes will have something to do with the food we eat. In terms of cancer prevention, processed food is something we should eat less of due to the preservatives it contains. As we know, most preservatives are carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and in order for us to spare ourselves of this risk, we may simply cut back on, if not totally eradicate, processed food in our diet. Excessive sodium or salt and sugar should also be avoided if one were to prevent cancer. It is good to eat organic food with high fiber and antioxidant content such as berries, broccoli, cauliflower, oranges, red apples and many others to boost our body's resistance against cancer-causing agents.


The way of life is another thing we must consider changing appropriately if we are to fight the risks of cancer as we meet them in our day-to-day lives. Living against cancer can be as simple as practicing common sense such as maintaining one's ideal weight, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep - at least, eight hours of restful sleep which only happen at night. Simple things like taking time out to know whether a potential sexual partner has the cancer-causing human papilloma virus can mean a great deal when trying to avoid cancer. Sleep is something many people take for granted these days as they get so engrossed with their careers or social lives. Yes, there is a difference when you sleep eight hours at daytime and when you do at night. Our bodies are engineered in such a way that sleeping at daytime cannot be enough to compensate for lack of sleep at night. We need at least 8 hours of sleep every day.


Definitely, knowledge of things that can expose us to cancer is necessary for us to be able to avoid it. For example, when we know electromagnetic fields can cause the disease, we can simply avoid or minimize our exposure when we can to X-rays or other procedures characterized by ionizing radiation which is a known cause of cancer. Environmental hazards which are inherently capable of causing cancer in humans must also be avoided. Heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, pesticides and the like are among these.


If you have a family member who has the disease, you can explore together natural cancer cures which promote holistic cancer treatment. This may come as a new idea, but it is something worth a try if it means possibly finding the solution to overcoming the cancer in any form it may come.
